‘Where the Sun and Moon says Goodbye’ 19.NOV.018 andy.omography | ... winter is coming but fall hasn’t started? summer is scared to miss out, while spring is a lazy bum, hidden for what feels like an eternity.

I am officially booked for December 1st. I have ONE more opening for this weekend. Saturday November 24th. Let me know if you are interested. I am also offering Christmas cards but for additional fee. Message me for more details .🎄♥️

I have a ton of things this year to be thankful for. Family, friends, job, health...all amazing. This year has led my family down some new roads, both literally and figuratively. The constant has been us tackling everything together as a family. Whether it was seeing new places, new life paths, or spending a few minutes each evening to discuss what we are grateful for...we have done it together. I am extremely grateful for my travel companions in this life and looking forward to whatever new roads we have yet to explore. 🌄

24 hours in a day, yet it goes by so fast. Breaking it down even more, that’s 1,440 minutes, and 86,400 seconds of time we have in one day, but yet it still feels as if it is not enough.

It leads us to the mindset of time being taken, rather than given; which is the result of creating a monotonous schedule.
Movement is such a continuous flow in our society, that we pass by things that are not meant to be overlooked. We are always on our feet, forgetting about time, which makes the day feel as if it were just a blur. There are even moments when physically, you may not be moving, but mentally your movement is nonstop.

It is important to truly understand the value of time, but it is also essential to grasp the effect of how pausing, is necessary.
Rest can be a foreign idea to those who are constantly in motion; and when relief is not in the picture, patience has no room to work. One may look at relief as being a waste of time, however, it is in the moments of relief when you glimpse a new perspective.
Relief gives time, it does not take it; it allows you to have the opportunity to process and to appreciate the value of simplicity.
.
.
Even creativity has the chance to flow when relief is accepted; look at a writer for example, they can only write for so long, for it is in the times when writing is not transpiring that a story can soon develop. How? Because he or she is observing rather than obsessing. You gather narratives just by simply watching others, and you can only do that when your attention is not focused on a sheet of paper.

This is a lesson I have been learning everyday, and as someone who lives by a schedule and constantly plans, I have lost track of time, instead of embracing it. I have misjudged the value of stepping back and waiting, because my focus has been on what I can accomplish in a certain amount of hours and minutes.
I have come to the realization that when you do not always let a schedule dictate your life, you experience a contagious freedom; schedules can chain you down, so why remain restricted when you have the capability to break free?
